Today's Google Doodle lets you compose your own music

And while Google's Doodle is wonderful, it's not almost as impressive as Fischinger's original work.

Further, Google also gives you the option to share the music you have put together on social media. He made over 50 short films and painted around 800 canvases that find a place in museums, galleries and collections across the globe.

Not only was Fischinger behind the effects on several movies, including Fritz Lang's 1929 Woman in the Moon, he invented the Lumigraph, a device that generates chromatic displays with hand movements.

One of Oskar Fischinger's famous quotes was, "Music is not limited to the world of sound".

Click on the Doodle to enter the world of music and animation that saw Fischinger flourish in Hollywood and contribute to some classic animations such as Disney'sFantasia.

"In the world of design, Fischinger is a towering figure, especially in the areas of motion graphics and animation", wrote Google's Leon Hong in a blog post.

Long before the age of computer-generated graphics and animation software, Fischinger's short films were frame-by-frame, stop-animation labors of love that could take months or even years to complete.

Fischinger, who was known for his illuminating, animated art set to music, moved to America in the mid-30s as Nazi leader Adolf Hitler cracked down on abstract art.

Clicking or tapping on the doodle launches a small web-based music composition app that allows one to plot four different instruments along a grid. He was known for carefully photographing each frame with his own hand.

After being rejected from combat duty, Fischinger met Walter Ruttmann, a pioneer in abstract film and got inspired by Ruttmann's work.
